Jessie didn’t expect that Ashlyn would suddenly open the door and come inside. She had been listening to their conversation just now, and when she saw Ashlyn throwing away Gordon’s file, she felt a sense of satisfaction. To be honest, she wished that Ashlyn should’ve slapped Gordon.
As she thought of this, Ashlyn suddenly turned around at that moment and pushed the door open.
The door knocked into Jessie’s body and she hurriedly took a step back. She stood there, staring at Ashlyn with a guilty look on her face. “I didn’t eavesdrop, I swear.”
The cold expression on Ashlyn’s face lessened as she glanced at Jessie. “Oh, then were you just practicing yoga by the door, then?”
“Uh… Yeah, I learned a new move in yoga class recently, and—”
Ashlyn wasn’t in the mood to listen to her nonsense. “Look, I’m in a really bad mood right now, so cut the shit.”
Jessie stared at her. “How are you feeling?” she asked.
Ashlyn didn’t respond and just poured herself a glass of water. After that, she sat on the sofa and drank it slowly.
She and Gordon might be divorced now, but she had loved him for so many years and been married to him for three years. Disappointment was one thing while love was another.
Love wasn’t something that could be stopped so easily no matter how much one forced it to.
It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t sad, but the anger in her heart was far greater than her sadness.
She had never felt so insulted like this ever since she was born.
Gordon didn’t give her anything when the two of them got divorced back then. But now that Raina came back, he suddenly said that he would compensate Ashlyn.
He wanted to give her 300 million dollars as compensation for the three years that they’d been married.
Just so she could let go of Raina?
If that was the case, then she would make sure that he wouldn’t get what he wanted.
When Ashlyn finally calmed herself down, she grabbed her phone and logged into her Twitter account.
He said that he didn’t want to make things worse than they already were?
Fine, then.
She would do him a favor and add more fuel to the fire!
“Ashlyn, it’s not a huge deal. Gordon is no better than a dog, as you said just now. In recent years, he hasn’t even given you a decent look. If you’re upset right now, he must be overjoyed to see it. Ashlyn, hold on, what are you editing?”
Jessie first assumed Ashlyn was depressed. She felt a bit bad about what she had just said. She sat next to Ashlyn and attempted to soothe her, but she wasn’t prepared to see Ashlyn quickly alter a tweet.
“A tweet.”
After finishing her sentence, Ashlyn got up and returned to her room.
For a moment, Jessie didn’t know what to do. “Wait.”
Nonetheless, Jessie didn’t pursue her. Ashlyn was feeling ill. It would be preferable for her to get more sleep.
In any case, she followed Ashlyn’s Twitter. She would soon be aware of Ashlyn’s posting.
Her Twitter account had no updates since she divorced Gordon, other than the sarcastic “I’m sorry” she wrote. However, there was a new tweet today.
Ashlyn’s following tweet was short and to the point. “Due to my sickness, I had been sleeping all day. When I finally woke up, I discovered that I was labeled as a murderer. Here is the thing. When Raina Morgan called me, I was too sleepy and I mistook the call for my secretary phoning. I recorded it and intended to listen to it careful when I woke up. But after listening to the recording, I realized I said nothing out of the ordinary. Any technological identifier is acceptable. I’m prepared to publicly apologize to her if the recording I share below was edited. Oh, and Mr. Jones, 300 million dollars is a lot of money, but money means nothing to me. Why don’t you buy Raina some tonics?”
Although she didn’t say anything unpleasant, she was rather sarcastic.
Jessie was so ecstatic that she immediately gave Payne a phone call and requested his people to put Ashlyn’s tweet at the top of the search results.
After Raina’s suicide had vanished from the hot topics, Raina and Ashlyn were once again trending on Twitter in the afternoon.
This time, the popular search’s title was rather interesting—Raina Morgan, the Best Actress.
The recording of Ashlyn and Raina’s phone call from this morning was attached to Ashlyn’s tweet. The whole recording was barely one minute and 20 seconds long. Ashlyn didn’t say anything else in it beyond the opening phrase, “I’m listening.”
Raina, on the other hand, acted more skillfully than any actress.
“Hello, Ashlyn. I’m Raina. I honestly had no idea that Gordon married you so that he could wait for me to come back. But since it has something to do with me, I should apologize to you. Are you listening?”
Although it seemed nothing was wrong with her words, anybody with even a modicum of intelligence could understand what Raina truly meant.
Raina remained silent for a few moments, maybe due to the fact that Ashlyn did not say anything. Then, she added, “Sorry to bother you so much. But now that you and Gordon are no longer together, let the past go. In the future, I hope you find someone you love and who loves you. Please don’t blame Gordon anymore. He wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for me. Come after me if you truly can’t let it go. You are free to ask me anything. Hello? Do you hear me?”
Later, Raina presumably realized Ashlyn wasn’t listening. She then hung up the phone.
The conversation lasted for one minute and twenty seconds.
Ashlyn only said two words—”I’m listening.”
The assumption that Ashlyn forced Raina to cut her wrist was like a joke after Ashlyn posted the recording on Twitter.
The tweet that Ashlyn posted jumped right to the top three of the most popular searches around half an hour after it was uploaded thanks to the assistance of Payne’s subordinates.
Raina, who was now confined to the hospital, saw it.
The moment she saw Ashlyn’s tweet, her face instantly became very pale. “Arabella!”
While Arabella was munching on some fruit, she peered over at Raina and inquired, “What’s the matter? Do you feel any pain from the wound?”
Raina did slash her wrist, even though the whole story was made up. She had a wound there, which would most certainly be painful.
Nonetheless, the pain was worth it. They had resided at the hotel, but now Gordon had arranged for them to stay in the senior ward. He also handed them a card and told them to purchase some healthy food.
The news that Raina committed suicide was spread like wildfire on the Internet. Arabella got the impression that the Jones family was already aware of it.
She had faith that Nathaniel would come to Raina soon.
She believed as long as they pretended to be miserable, Nathaniel would allow Gordon to marry Raina. After that, she would be able to rejoin the Jones family.
